How to do it

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand. Hinge at the hips and bend your knees slightly until your torso is close to parallel to the floor, arms hanging straight down.
2. Brace your core and row both kettlebells toward your hips, driving your elbows back close to your body.
3. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top.
4. Lower the kettlebells with control to full arm extension and repeat.

Form tips

• Keep your back flat and your torso still throughout.
• Lead with your elbows rather than your hands.
• Don't shrug your shoulders toward your ears as you pull.
